In MaryAustin’s tales, a boy learns the secrets of the trees and animals and the wisdom of the people who flourished before the arrival of the white settlers.
This is a book of folksy tales written from the perspective of the pioneers of the westward expansion. As such, there are two distinct underlying themes; one that the American Indians are better off as they are now, and the second that Europeans are better than Indians. The first two stories were particularly bad, (they’re parts one and two of a single story), but the themes popped up in every other story or so–pretty much any tale where the pioneers and Indians came into contact. The other stories were mainly about anthropomorphized landscape features, such as a river or a tree.In MaryAustin’s tales, a boy learns the secrets of the trees and animals and the wisdom of the people who flourished before the arrival of the white settlers.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works are evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he coined himself. He is widely regarded as one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the Lost Generation of the twenties. He finished four novels, including The Great Gatsby, with another published posthumously, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age. Fitzgerald’s work and legend has inspired writers ever since he was first published. It was written in a New York Times editorial after his death that Fitzgerald was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a ‘generation’. [... H]e might have interpreted them and even guided them, as in their middle years they saw a different and nobler freedom threatened with destruction. – Wikipedia
